Mike Perry: Land / Sea at Oriel MOSTYN Gallery

Details

Mike Perry's series of photographs 'Plastic Sea' shed light on the tragic beauty of plastic objects washed up on the coasts of Wales and around the world.

By using a high-resolution camera to capture the surface detail, the artist allows the viewer to ‘read’ markings and scars etched into the objects by the ocean over months and, in some cases, years. The viewer is intrigued and challenged by how a polluting object can be so aesthetically appealing.
